Here at TCN, we’re always excited to see fellow believers raising awareness for environmental stewardship. A large church in Orlando is holding a conference for this very purpose. Here’s the official word:

It’s time for us to rediscover the Church’s responsibility to lead by example in Creation Care!

At the first-ever Creation Care Conference (C3) in Longwood, Florida, you’ll learn more about the biblical mandate to care for God’s creation and be equipped with tools to lead your church, college, or community in obeying that mandate.

At C3, we will explore and discuss a biblical perspective on how Christians everywhere might rediscover the value of caring for creation, uniting in our efforts to make a difference in the world for His glory.

For more information, visit the C3 Conference page at Northland’s website.

PSALM 65:5-13 (NIV)
You answer us with awesome deeds of righteousness, O God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas, who formed the mountains by your power, having armed yourself with strength, who stilled the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations.

Those living far away fear your wonders; where morning dawns and evening fades you call forth songs of joy.

You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly. The streams of God are filled with water to provide the people with grain, for so you have ordained it.

You drench its furrows and level its ridges; you soften it with showers and bless its crops. You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance.

The grasslands of the desert overflow; the hills are clothed with gladness. The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain; they shout for joy and sing.

We had another street cleanup of SW 5th Ave. this weekend. We got a good amount of trash, but it wasn’t too bad — probably because UF is on break this week, so the students are out of town. We’re not saying that college students are messy or anything! Like last time, it was also a prayer walk, which works well to keep focused on Christ when you’re picking up people’s litter and other things we won’t care to mention!
